Although you are already try...Happy Birthday, Sku!<br /><br />Although you are already trying to deflect attention from this landmark with a new post (admittedly, very interesting!), I think you deserve some more celebration -- you earned it! Some guests are late with the birthday cards and greetings, be patient with them.<br /><br />You paint the blogging landscape of 2007 as mostly Terra Incognita, but in my archeological digs I came across the remains of a <a href="http://www.smwhisky.com" rel="nofollow">pre-Columbian whisky society, </a> now mostly vanished, which had reached great heights of development!<br /><br />Nonetheless, you are being too modest! Yours is the first independent blog that I check on my list of 30+, and one that I very much trust. Thank you for posts such as <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2012/02/whiskey-law-have-cola-and-smile.html" rel="nofollow">Have a COLA</a>, or great resources such as <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/p/complete-list-of-american-whiskey.html" rel="nofollow">The list of American whiskey distilleries</a>.<br /><br />And who can forget Sku's own <a href="http://recenteats.blogspot.com/2012/02/join-protestant-malt-whisky-society.html" rel="nofollow">Protestant Malt Whisky Society?</a>.<br /><br />Dear Sku's Recent Eats reader, what were <b>your</b> favorite Sku blogs over the last 5 years?Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-55100764982805418952012-05-10T23:13:31.957-07:002012-05-10T23:13:31.957-07:00Thanks Sam, I'll try that.

And from a whiskey perspective - absolutely one of the best there is. Congratulations on a big 5 years. <br /><br />One of the things that really shows itself when you have a whiskey site is just how tight a group there is out there with this common interest. From the spirited arguments, the passionate agreements, and the stuff in between, it's a great group of people to interact with online.<br /><br />Thanks for all you do with your labor of love.<br /><br />-JasonJason Pylehttp://sourmashmanifesto.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-71803003178519878752012-05-10T18:26:11.300-07:002012-05-10T18:26:11.300-07:00Nope.

There is only one cake worthy of this occasion, and I have baked it many times, each time with only Pennsylvania-distilled Michter's, but you can use whatever you like.

Your every-week posts are informative, and your parodies reveal a deep understanding of the industry and the people who care about it. Your keen eyes and ears, as well as your admirable discipline are all on display in your blog, so Happy Fifth to your work here, and may your next five be just as rewarding for you!<br /><br />And thanks for the shout out, I am honored to be included!AaronWFhttp://whiskeywonka.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-90534538363685039082012-05-10T10:44:29.175-07:002012-05-10T10:44:29.175-07:00Happy Birthday Sku!

Live long and prosper. 5 years in Internet Years is like a century in regular years - so you are indeed a grand old man of whisky blogging and I salute you.<br /><br />As for your self assessment: nice slice of humble pie, Sku. You should know that your blog is incredibly influential and widely read. It's very clearly in the top 5 US whisky blogs in my opinion and I ALWAYS read Sku's Eats. I have learned more on your blog than from any other source. Period. You are deep, brother, deep.<br /><br />P.S. I'm also fat and have cut my food way back. On weight watchers a 1.5 oz dram of whisky is 4 points. That's a stone cold bargain in my book. I always save 4 points for whisky. As Don Draper says "Make mine big and brown".Josh Feldmanhttp://cooperedtot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-78283097337805492212012-05-10T10:33:31.265-07:002012-05-10T10:33:31.265-07:00How did I ever miss the Mr. Pyrite post?
